Kim Kardashian turned her kitchen into a classroom, building a 100 % custom homeschool that turns North’s love of fashion, math and music into daily, credit-worthy courses—while giving Kanye West the producer seat for the studio sessions.
The Curriculum North Actually Asked For
Kim Kardashian doesn’t hand North a worksheet and walk away. Instead, the 45-year-old Skims founder spends “24/7” designing courses that mirror the projects North already pitches at the dinner table. A typical Monday starts with a budget scavenger hunt: Kim gives North a cash limit, they hit stores, add up receipts in the cart and subtract discounts on the spot. The exercise checks the math box while feeding North’s obsession with numbers.
Brand-building is a graded subject. North sketched a hat-and-jewelry line, so Kim turned the idea into a semester-long class that includes web-design homework, supplier spreadsheets and a final profit-loss presentation. North must price fabrics, calculate markup and present a marketing deck—graded like any middle-school project, only the stakes are real because the products may drop on a kids’ Skims capsule later this year.
Recording Studio = Spelling Class
Music isn’t an extracurricular; it’s core. North writes, produces and records original tracks in a fully booked studio twice a week. Kim embeds the session into the homeschool day by printing lyrics for spelling tests and making North annotate chord progressions for music-theory credit. The arrangement also reopened the communication lane with Kanye West. “The producing side isn’t my thing,” Kim told Us Weekly, “so that’s her bonding thing with her dad.” Scheduling sessions now forces the exes to co-parent in real time, filtering label offers and deciding which beats make the cut.
Why Kim Took a Six-Month Sabbatical
Between running Skims, studying for the bar and filming two Hulu shows, Kim still carved out half a year to sit in the classroom chair next to North. She personally downloads teacher lesson plans, rewrites them into Kardashian-sized projects and stays in the room for every virtual lecture. “I’ve added ‘teacher’ to my role,” she laughed, underscoring that North refuses to start class until Mom is present.
Fashion Camp, FIT and the Summer Intensive
When the homeschool year ends, the syllabus goes on the road. North spends summers at FIT’s New York campus and a private fashion camp where she sews samples, sources dead-stock fabric and meets garment-district vendors. The travel doubles as geography and economics: she tracks shipping routes, calculates import duties and files expense reports that Kim later grades.
Self-Expression Clause: Septums, Braids and No Judgment
Kim’s only non-negotiable is authenticity. North arrived home with a fake septum ring in first grade and has worn rainbow braids ever since. Rather than institute a dress-code policy, Kim wrote “creative expression” into the homeschool charter, treating every style pivot as a cultural-studies discussion. The result: North tests off the charts for confidence and presents her fashion research to adults without blinking.
What Comes Next: A Middle-School Empire?
Industry watchers predict the hat-and-jewelry line will debut under Skims Kids by holiday 2026, making North the youngest licensed designer in the Kardashian portfolio. Meanwhile, her demo tracks are already circulating inside Kanye’s creative circle, and mom is fielding discreet inquiries from kid-centric streaming platforms about a music-fashion docuseries. If the curriculum stays this agile, North could graduate eighth grade with a résumé most adults can’t touch.
